Dean's POV
Oh now this is just great. Peachy even, look what Kassandra got us into. If
only she could be more careful sometimes. And the fact that we had to tell our story to them, no bueno not my kind of thing at all. And now we have to go to this rich people's school with freaking suits, but I'm okay with the cute girls being there. But come on suits! I am going to hate this so much.
"Dean, stop having that disgusted look on your face. You know it wasn't Kassandra's fault! That bottle was one I had never seen and you know it!" Sam yelled a little and I being the older sterner brother, reacted.
"Yeah! Who cares she should just be more careful Sam! You saw her back there I heard you, you said she was crying. What the hell kind of person does that?" I yelled back.
"Someone who puts up with everyone else's crap and the hatred of our father. You do know that she has nightmares that wake her up every single night? That's why she was always so tired when we first saw her Dean. You know what her mother did to her." He mumbled the last part underneath his breath.
"Yeah yeah Sam I know, but our life isn't any better! Why does she go around like her life is more of a hell than ours and have a more advantageous reaction to the telling of her story than us! I mean hell Sam I lost my mom at six years old, saw her burning on the damn ceiling! So what makes this any different!" I was in his face now, almost spitting on it.
The door creaked open just when I was about to say something else. It only took one look at her for me to back down, her face was one of immense hurt. It looked like someone kicked her puppy or something. But this is what she does, she does this look and Sam instantly melts. He just hates it when people have melt downs and I just can't stand them. Hell I know she's gone through just as much hell as we have and maybe worse. But if we could know more about what happened to her than maybe, just maybe I could trust her just an eensy bit more.
"Kassadra did you hear that?"
"Do you think I'm deaf! Of course I heard it and Dean you son of a bitch! I can't believe I trusted you with my life and you go back and stab me in the back like that! I just I just can't deal with this okay? The whole we being here my fault, John's always watching eyes, how he won't let me go on hunts, you guys's prying eyes on trying to figure out my past it just HURTS so much. You really have no idea what you guys do to me." She had tears falling down her face and was shoving back Sam's signs of comfort. This was bad this was really bad, she's going to do something really stupid and it will be all my fault.
And there she goes…. Sam and I started to chase her down the hallway but I know that this is never a good idea, not for us anyways. She needs her space and I respect that but oh god what if something gets her or something like that? I looked over at Sam, his face was streaked with tears also, oh great I didn't realize that I was crying also. Our family is one big mess and with Kassandra there it is even worse.
But she's the glue that holds us together and what can push us apart. She's our greatest strength and our best weakness. Sam and I know that if it's true for me it is even more so for Sam. Sam has well taking a liking to her a little bit, okay I'm lying a lot and Kassandra does also and they refuse to notice that they both ugh. No no, no chick flick moments.
Sam moved a little. "I'm going to go find Kassandra. Go entertain the host club with some of your stories or something."
I groaned after Sam left. Did I really have to do this now? Ugh what we do for that girl. Now look where we are.
Kassandra POV
I was running, I was running down the hallways. I was not stopping, I would go as far as this hallway would take me. I look behind me to see if Sam or Dean followed me. I saw nothing, turning around I ran into someone, I looked up and it was Sam.
"Ahh! Oh my god Sam don't do that!" I yelled. He stopped me and I noticed that he was crying to, pulled me into a big hug. He was so warm and comfortable and we fit together like a puzzle piece. Shakly sam whispered into my ear.
"You know that you, dean, and my dad are the only to people in my life that I care about. You are part of our family and that will never change. Sure you haven't told us the whole story but in time I think you will come out and tell us and when you do we will be waiting with open arms." Sam said into my ear. It was a half whisper and a light talking voice, lacerated with pain.
Even though I had already stopped crying they started up again. The tears fell down my face, Sam wiped them away with his thumb before they fell. He let me cry but wiped them away before the tears could fall down my face. Almost like he way saying he's got my back when there is trouble. We stood there for what felt like hours but in reality it was only a couple of minutes. Just him hugging me, and miraculously he pulled away before I did.
"We should probably go back to the dining room and eat, we have been gone for a while and I think we should go and eat. And you know help Dean out, he's probably going a little crazy." Sam suggested, and it was perfect timing for my stomach to growl. We both looked down at me stomach,
"I guess so, I mean I might be a tad bit hungry. Lets go." I motioned for him to follow me.
We made our way through the long waving halls, and I hoped to not do anything stupid. But you know the bad ideas side of me kind of wants to come out. OH! I know I should prank Sam and Dean. You know seperately so they think the other did it. It's so much fun to do stuff like that and pester them. Maybe they'll forget about the whole thing. And maybe Dean will trust me again, just maybe.
We walked into the dining room, Sam following behind and everyone looked up. I stopped immediately and stared at everyone. They were kind of creepy in a way and Dean was mimicking this, trying and failing at keeping a straight face. I glared at him and then Sam and I walked to sit down. The food hadn't been brought out and I could see that they had been waiting for us. Look you've done it again Kassandra, made everyone wait for something that that wanted.
I stared down at my hands and only looked up when the food was brought in. My stomach lurched at the food, the delicious sight of it. Food was sometimes a scarcity of the Winchester family, which in extension meant me also. Basically Dean and my self-sacrificing tendencies meant that Sam and John always got food before us. And then it was a good long argument with Dean about how he needs more food than I do because John won't let me hunt.
Then Dean goes on a self loathing episode where he then eventually goes and sleeps with some girl that's at our High School. That we've been at for two weeks, and it's a never ending cycle. It's a tremendous feat that Sam and I can even catch up on everything. But with the help of my creativity I came up with the fact that there is online schooling options. So in our supposed "spare time" we work on school work while Dean is complaining at us in the background.
But anyways the sight of all of this food made me both very hungry and very sick. I don't think I've ever seen personally half of this stuff in front of me. I do know what it is but I've never eaten it, so today could either go very well or very bad. I looked over to Dean, his face was one lit up with pleasure and I could tell when we were allowed to he would eat everything in sight.
Someone began to say what a wonderful day it was and how it was great to bring these "exciting and new" people into their lives. Yeah sure Tamaki, whom I assume was saying this whole thing. Anyways after they finished this we all began to eat. I was careful and only took small amounts, foreign to the monstrosity of the food that they had available. While everyone else took monstrous portions of everything.
The maids even gave me concerned looks. Don't worry about me it's not like I've gone a week without food before because we couldn't afford it! I stared at everything that I had put on my plate, I think that this is more than I've ever eaten in one sitting. Personally I enjoyed the more small meals more frequently. It worked better and was better on your
body supposedly. Anyways I ate slowly and once everyone finished I decided that I was done also.
"Okay is it unanimous, Monday is school and you guys will need to be fitted and get your school supplies. I've already gotten your school class lists so we can just go to the normal un-rich people's mall and go get school supplies! But we all need a good night's rest so everyone else goodbye and you three," he gestured to us. "Can go and get ready for bed."
Oh great he's like our mother now. This is super. Not that I had the best relationship with my mother in the end or anything. My head throbbed from the thought and I placed my hand to my temple to rub it. This always is what happened when I thought about my mother, I had so many good memories but the bad one, well the bad one outweighs them all.
Once everyone else left I finally got up. Carefully and silently I went up the stairs, which hurt like a bitch by the way, and wandered my way up to the room where Sam, Dean and myself were all staying in.
"Kassandra, are you okay you look kinda pale," Dean said. I wandered over to the bathroom and shut the door, right now I honestly didn't care what they thought of me I was so tired. I undressed myself and took a quick shower. The water felt to nice and soothing, I stood there for a minute before I actually started to wash myself and get out of the shower.
I waddled over to my bed once I was all dressed and clean, my first move was to sleep and that what I did, well tried to do anyway.
I was sitting down in a chair, I was tied up. I looked up and saw my mom. She stood there with an almost evil glint in her eyes. "Nooooo get away from me!" I screamed but that made no difference. Now I was not the one sitting down I was standing in a corner of the room, I couldn't move but I was trying to save myself. I saw my mother take out a knife "You, it's all your fault that your father caught me, I did always love you but it was all your fault, I can't let that go unpunished." She said. Now I was in my mother's eyes, I saw her cut me and beat me. "kassandra wake up" I heard. What.
"Kassandra, hey kassandra wake up your having a nightmare, hey we are right here, shhhhhhhh" Sam said. Over his shoulder I could make out another figure which seemed to be Dean. Both were around my bed, I felt something cold fall down my face, I was going to touch it but sam got to it first, It seemed like I was crying.
"Hey are you okay you were yelling in your sleep, what's going on?" Sam said. I just crawled up into a ball and started to sob. I felt someone get into my bed and I felt arms around my waist, it was Sam. My breath hitched as I felt the warmth of his chest. On the other side of me I could see Dean's figure slip into my bed and hug my from my front side. I felt the love, the warmth they spread, the comfort they gave. This was the first time I have ever felt this much love in my life. I finally felt officially apart of the family, whether John likes it or not. And with this I finally was able to fully fall asleep, for the first time in a while.
